How it works – An Ultimate Team Building (3.5 Hour) Event

You can read about our other offerings using the menu to the right. To give you an idea of what to expect from a typical experience, below is how Ultimate Team Building works.

On Arrival

First we give you a nibble and a drink to get everyone settled. It’s best if all the team arrive at once as it creates a better impact, especially if the activity is a surprise. We gather all the new “chefs” to have a brief talk on how the event will proceed.

First Course – Your Team as Star Chefs

Before the event, we help you divide your team into groups according to the team’s size and your objectives. Each group has its own VictorsFood Chef giving them personal, professional attention so they feel comfortable with the tasks ahead. Your team learns essential cooking skills, proper knife technqiues and puts together a restaurant quality banquet of gourmet food. You are assured of success, with timely tips and helpful guidance from our Chefs to keep things moving in the right direction. The actual cooking lasts about 1.5 - 2 hours.

Second Course – Waiters with No Attitude

As the cooking is completed your team learns what hospitality is all about, as they become the service staff – setting tables, folding serviettes, and creating the ambience – all with their own style and creative energy. You’ll be amazed what people get up to with this.

Third Course – The Wow Factor

The Wow Factor is what your team experiences as the customers in their very own restaurant. They sit and enjoy the fruits of their labours – a sensational banquet of delicious dishes. Your team basks in the satisfaction of a job well done, and continue the bonding experience over a great meal, while we make sure they have enough of everything, with big smiles and great energy.

Menus

VictorsFood aims to reduce “food miles” (the distance your food is shipped) and works with local farmers to bring to you the freshest and most sustainably produced foods. Therefore, our menus change seasonally. With advance notice, we accommodate any dietary requirements, allergies, etc. your team members have. Expect delicious world cuisine based on tried and true recipes. We are happy to adapt theme menus and events if you want something even more festive. We usually take care of the whole menu plan, but you can be as involved as you like.

Music

We love good music, so expect great tunes to liven up the event and keep the team shaking things in addition to the pots and pans.

Alcohol & Soft Drinks

Our events are BYO beverages. We allow people to have a glass of wine or two during the cooking, but for safety reasons we try to get them to hold back a bit until they are seated and no longer working with knives and hot pans. Then the party can rock on!

The Next Day

We send recipes, photos, and a link to our online feedback form to the event co-ordinator to distribute to the team. As a reminder of your fantastic event, you get to post some great photos on your company’s website for all to enjoy.
